Singer/songwriter/performer Derrick Scott has embarked on a musical gospel mission. As the old saying goes, the chip doesn’t fall far from the block, and that adage fits Derrick to a ‘T’. He is the brother of reggae legend, Mr. ‘Picture On The Wall’ Freddy McKay, and Derrick’s daughter, Kishna Scott and nephew, Marlon McClean, are also singers.

Musically, Derrick’s aim is to reach Christians and all lovers of gospel music around the world.

“The mission right now” says Derrick,“ is to send a message through my music, to uplift the spirit of the people and bring an awareness of the almighty to their hearts. That’s why I focus on the melody and the music to go with the lyrics so I can reach the young and the old. Even if I am covering a traditional song, I do it with a beat and melody that everyone can relate to, and once the music appeals to young people, they will get the message in the lyrics. So far it’s working; everywhere I perform people are buying my CD.”
